Sun Devils with more rushing yards, and more passing yards than the Ducks. Just need some more points!

I personally don't like it when the Cardinals and ASU correlate Pat's legacy with military service. Had he survived my guess is the last thing he'd be is a military flag waver. ASU especially as a place of higher education should honor Pat's free thinking and ability to self-reflect about 100x more than his time in the service. I know he doesn't hang out here anymore but would love to hear Gadd's thoughts on this.
I think ASU (and the Cardinals) must be extremely cautious about how they use Mr. Tillman's name but it relieved many of my initial concerns to learn that Marie Tillman and the Pat Tillman Foundation were explicitly involved in this project. If the Foundation believes that this helps them with their goals then in my opinion it is worth it.

Grahm manages the clock like a bad high school coach.

Well, 3 missed field goals and we are down by 3 at the half. Hopefully, that won't come back to bite us.

Other than a few big plays, our D is playing pretty well. Yardage comparison, with ASU on top: Total Yards 252 321; Big margin in time of possession as well.

Just got to buckle up those big plays and capitalize on scoring opportunities. Oregon looks vulnerable as our offense seems to have figured out how to move the ball finally.

Against one of the worst defenses in college football and THE worst in the Pac 12, we can only produce 14 pts in the first half... So many mental errors and mistakes. The collective football IQ of this team is stunningly low...

Yep, seems like that happened last year too. Looked like they weren't sure whether to kick or keep going. With no timeouts left, just send the kicker out right away it seems.

Hellz ya! Sun Devils up 31-20. Great catch by DJ to get us down to the 1, that was clutch. Then Richard with the catch for another TD.

PAC refs are awful. Can't even get the call right on replay.

Controversial call on the reversed INT. I think the Sun Devils got a break there, but we were due.

All tied up, wake up everybody, we got a ball game here!

Holy crap. Ducks down 7 but driving, looks like 4th and 1 from the 11. 56 seconds left. What a game!

Unbelievable play by Adams for the TD. That ball was up there so long, I could have picked it off. OMG.
